ATLANTA (AP) — For Georgia Democrats who didn’t get what they want out of a special legislative session to redraw voting districts, their retort Thursday was simple: “We’ll see you in court.” State lawmakers on Thursday completed a special session with the House voting 98-71 to give final passage to a congressional map that preserves a 9-5 edge for Republicans in Georgia’s congressional delegation to Washington, while creating a court-ordered Black-majority district on the west side of metro Atlanta and sharply transforming a congressional district now represented by Democrat Lucy McBath “This ..read more

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For the third time this year, the House has censured a representative. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who pled guilty to pulling a House office building fire alarm in September, was the target Thursday. Bowman’s charges will be dismissed once he completes a three-month probationary period. “It’s painfully obvious to myself, my colleagues and the American people that the Republican Party is deeply unserious and unable to legislate,” Bowman said Wednesday. “Their censure resolution against me today continues to demonstrate their inability to govern and serve the American peopl ..read more

ATLANTA (AP) — Brushing aside concerns that they may be breaking law that protects coalitions of nonwhite voters, Georgia state senators on Tuesday passed a new congressional map that would maintain a likely 9-5 GOP edge in the state's delegation. The Senate voted 32-22 to pass the plan, which seeks a wholesale reconfiguration of a suburban Atlanta district now represented by Democrat Lucy McBath. It goes to the House for more debate. Meanwhile, lawmakers gave final passage to maps likely to keep each chamber of the General Assembly under the control of Republicans, sending House and ..read more

The House voted Friday to expel Rep. George Santos, ending the New York Republican’s tumultuous tenure in Congress and officially etching his name in the history books as the sixth lawmaker ever to be ousted from the lower chamber. The extraordinary move, unseen in 20 years, took three attempts over six months and required support from large numbers in both parties to meet the inflated threshold — two-thirds of the chamber — for expelling a sitting member. The final tally, 311-114-2, surpassed that mark, with 105 Republicans joining almost all Democrats to remove the scandal-plagued Santo ..read more

The walls — both political and legal — are closing in on Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.). The embattled New York Republican is coming off a bruising week that began with his second former aide taking a plea deal, continued with the release of a damning Ethics report and ended with the introduction of another expulsion resolution that could end his career in Congress. But the Santos storm is likely to worsen: The congressman is staring down a third potential vote on his ouster, which appears more and more likely to succeed as a growing number of lawmakers initially apprehensive towar ..read more

(The Hill) - Former President Trump says he'd consider Tucker Carlson as a potential running mate in 2024. "I like Tucker a lot, I guess I would,” Trump said during an appearance on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show this week. "I think I’d say I would because he’s got great common sense." “You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or I’m conservative, it’s not that we’re conservative, we have common sense. We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall because walls work,” he said. Carlson was fired by Fox News in April just days after it agreed to pay Dominion Voting Sy ..read more

Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear was projected to win reelection in Kentucky, according to Decision Desk HQ, fending off a challenge from his former President Trump-backed Republican challenger.  Beshear, who has seen strong approval despite being the Democratic governor of a red state, defeated Republican state Attorney General Daniel Cameron after a competitive race, winning his second term in the governor’s mansion.  He will hold onto the seat he flipped blue back in 2019, when he beat then-Gov. Matt Bevin (R).  Polls generally showed Beshear holding onto ..read more
